We have 5 Talk Tracks at this event, so you'll need to decide which track your talk fits best. Here's some guidance:

Talk Track: Product Operating Model​ & Strategies for P2P Transformation

If your talk is going to be about how your organization delivers its products, manages its roadmaps, and how you’ve transformed from a project-oriented approach, this track is for you. Your audience is people considering this approach, and they’ll want to know what challenges lie ahead, what risks they will encounter, and how to overcome and mitigate them. Tell them about your journey—how you got started, where you are now, and how you’re measuring your progress.

Talk Track: Product Management & Leadership

Driving product delivery is a complex challenge—there’s a reason we often call product managers mini-CEOs. This track is for speakers who want to share their top tips on moving products forward, successfully mobilizing the teams around them, and incorporating AI. We want you to share your expertise with the community so that they can learn how to energize stakeholders, empower participation, and motivate change.

Talk Track: Investment & Value Realization

Businesses want to create customer joy because the best customer experiences result in the most successful businesses. If you have a handle on how you hypothesize early on what value your work on your product will produce and you measure what actually happens, this is a great talk track for you. We’d love to hear your stories about how your teams decided what was worth investing your time in creating, how you figured out what impact and outcomes resulted, and how AI helped you help your customers.

Talk Track: Value Stream Flow

If you want to share your experiences about how you streamline your product delivery to accelerate time to value, then choose this talk track. The audience will be hoping for practical guidance on how to remove delays, obstacles, and dependencies so that they can get their innovative ideas into the hands of their customers as fast as possible—without compromising quality, of course. They’ll be particularly interested in how technology helps, especially how data and AI can be combined to produce actionable insights.

Talk Track: Organizational Design & Culture

Roles change when you move from project to product, team structures are modified, and your whole organizational structure may look different. This all matters because, according to Conway's Law, the way you communicate drives how you design your digital products. If your talk explores how you approach the organizational design elements of your transformation and how they impact culture, then this is a good talk track for you.
